I report textures too when I use AN glas on contact printing. This

might be verry nice when you do hard negatives and positives of film

for some effects.

I just build a 8x10 field camera and did the metal parts of aluminium.

To anyone who wants to do that (stole from the Beatles): let it be. I

made this fault because it was a little cheaper than brass and I

regret it. The material smears and so you have to do a lot more work

on it than on harder metal. I strongly recomend to use brass, and put

clear varnish after polishing on it. Of course you can use Titanium

but it brings no benefit to you rather to the seller.
